Reply to comment by dabestgoat in No more airplane mode? EU to allow calls on flights by linguist96

I just flew home from Ireland Saturday. The difference in service on the "international" (Dublin to Boston) leg vs. the "domestic" (Boston to San Francisco) on the same airline was stark. The first 7 hour leg served lunch and dinner, plus free champagne, wine, and beer. The second 7 hour flight served half a can of diet coke and a cookie.

Idk if it has to do with domestic vs international, but after living overseas for a year and traveling from Bahrain to Germany and Ireland I have a whole new hatred for American domestic travel and American based air lines. I remember buying my ticket to Germany and it being around 500 bucks….then trying to buy a plane ticket from DC to Texas for 600-700 bucks. The prices alone threw me way off.
